The Week In Music - 15th July

The Week In Music - 15th July

Black Kids have the most consistently enjoyable album this week. N.E.R.D. had some good songs and UNKLE disappointed. Dennis Wilson is a cool re-discovery and Oasis are back, but not with a bang.

N.E.R.D. ‘Seeing Sounds’

N.E.R.D. ‘Seeing Sounds’

N.E.R.D. are fusing white college rock with jazzy hip hop and a fair share of plain weirdness. Outkast have gone there before and arguably with more striking results.

Unkle ‘End Titles…Stories For Films’

Unkle ‘End Titles…Stories For Films’

James Lavelle’s UNKLE project has a go at film music. The mood is dark and tries hard to be edgy but succeeds in sounding like it was made for CSI Miami rather than a David Lynch spine tingler.

Black Kids ‘Partie Traumatic’

Black Kids ‘Partie Traumatic’

We have a bit of a party album here. Poppy like early Madonna, yet unpolished enough to sound fresh and slightly left of the mainstream. Not every song is a winner, but the atmosphere is infectious.

Dennis Wilson ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’

Dennis Wilson ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’

Brian Wilson might have filled his living room with sand to get the right vibes for writing songs about surfing, but his brother Dennis was the only Beach Boy who actually surfed.

Tricky ‘Knowle West Boy’

Tricky ‘Knowle West Boy’

The album juggernauts along like you are joyriding with Tricky through Knowle West council estate. Bits of R&B, New Wave and Reggae are floating in and out on your journey.

Beck ‘Modern Guilt’

Beck ‘Modern Guilt’

Beck presents an odds and ends collection of songs without a strong theme or standout hits. If there is a consistent factor on ‘Modern Guilt’, then it’s a quaint nostalgia for 1960s pop.
